This setting of TEXMF indicates that you have not sourced the settings
of the file lilypond-profile. I don't know how this is supposed to work
in the FINK package, but in the RedHat package, for example, that file
is installed in a directory (/etc/profile.d/) where it automatically is
sourced when you start a new shell.

With LilyPond up to version 2.2.x, this was only a problem when you used
lilypond-book, but with the latest 2.3.x versions you will need these
settings also to run the lilypond command.
